Befriend me in my shame. Abide with me—

For everyone with blushes turns away

When I assemble in society.

And I am like a person in a day

Of accolades and parades who is caught

Naked. The birds and beasts all pass on by,

But people don’t. And I feel as a blot

As to a clean new house I brought a sty.

I know that I should rather be alone

Than bring my mess to public properties,

But my sad heart is not a heart of stone,

So I go out where everybody sees.

Help me, acknowledge that you know my name;

Walk side by side with me in my great shame.
